Before assembling the aerator, lay out all of the parts and
hardware as shown on the previous pages.
Spike points are sharp. Exercise caution when
handling and working near spike disks.
IMPORTANT: The points of the spike disks must be turned
in the direction shown in the assembly drawings. T he aerator
will not perform properly if the spike disks are assembled
backwards.
1. Assemble the end plates to the inside slots at each end
of the tray using two 5/16" x 1" hex bolts (D) and 5/16"
nylock nuts (G) per end plate. Do not tighten yet. See
figure 1.
2. Assemble the lift plate (S) and the axle support bracket
to the tray using four 5/16" x 1" hex bolts (D) and 5/16"
nylock nuts (G). Do not tighten yet. See figure 1.

and the spike disks point in the direction shown.
4. Pivot the end plate on your right down out of the way.
Place the long end of the axle into the other pivot plate.
(Measure from the blind hole in the middle of the axle. If
there are two blind holes, use the hole that is in alignment
with the end holes.) Fit the middle hole in the axle down
onto the tab on the axle support bracket. See figure 3.

end of the axle (as shown in figure 3):
a. A flat washer (H), short spacer (N), disk hub (L)
and spike disk
b. A long spacer (M), disk hub (L) and spike disk.
c. A long spacer (M), disk hub (L) and spike disk.
d. A long spacer (M), disk hub (L) and spike disk.
e. A long spacer (M), disk hub (L) and spike disk.
